IIRC, ceramics last longer and dust less... but if they perform as good as the dusty metallics, as Dean was pointing out, they will wear the rotor more.

If you can live with less braking performance (which should be fine unless you're racing the car) a set of ceramics should last longer and be cleaner. I just don't know squat about ceramic street pads to recommend one.
